sabroso

Sabroso is a Spanish adjective meaning tasty, flavorful, or savory. It is used to describe foods, drinks, or meals that have a pleasing or rich flavor, aroma, or texture. The feminine form is sabrosa, and the adverbial form is sabrosamente. The word derives from sabor, meaning taste or flavor, with the suffix -oso indicating fullness or abundance.

In everyday speech across Spanish-speaking regions, sabroso conveys a positive evaluation of taste and can also carry connotations of liveliness or appealing character beyond food, depending on context. Sabrosa is commonly used for feminine nouns, such as una comida sabrosa or una salsa sabrosa. In some varieties of Caribbean Spanish, related terms like sabrosura are used to express exuberant flavor and charm in music, culture, or performance.

In culinary contexts, sabroso appears on menus, in recipes, and in reviews as a straightforward compliment to well-prepared dishes. The term is sometimes used in marketing and branding to evoke appetite and comfort, particularly for snacks, sauces, and prepared foods.
